No Mike, Tim who owns the paint shop has done it, I've just really been giving him a hand with all the spade work , like flatting & rubbing down. I stripped it all & then I've left all the 'proper' bodywork stuff to him.

I finished flatting the engine bay & under bonnet today, then Tim put a few coats of black on, trust me the pics don't come close, it's awesome, talk about gloss!

I've spent so much time wet flating this car I've got no fingerprints left! So today I stripped the servo & it's mounting bracket ready for priming.

It's a 'proper' tool they have in the bodyshop. It's sort of like a 4" grinder kind of tool, but with a stiff wire wheel, it rips paint off for fun, but without taking any material off the metal. Only problem is, it rips skin off at the same rate if your not careful.

Not been near it for a while, but primed doors, boot lid & a few other parts. Should get it painted tomorrow with any look.
